What is Muay Thai?

Muay Thai is a national combat sport and martial art from Thailand known as the “Art of Eight Limbs” because fighters use eight points of contact: fists, elbows, knees, and shins.

Muay Thai started centuries ago as a battlefield fighting system for Siamese soldiers. Over time, it moved from the battlefield into a popular sport.

Today, people around the world practice Muay Thai for fitness, competition, and self-defense. Training builds strength, agility, stamina, and balance through pad work, bag work, and shadow boxing.
